Acts Of Violence

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

July 7, 1993

U.S. FOREIGN policy, under the Clinton administration, continues to commit what amounts to state-sponsored acts of violence against Third World countries where leaders have displeased us.

President Clinton has continued the policy of surprise bombings, in the dark of night, on populated areas, killing untold numbers of innocent civilians as well as causing devastating damage to property. It's a policy that disregards the sovereign rights of other nations - hence the invasion of Grenada, and the bombings of Libya, Panama and Iraq have been followed by the recent bombings of Mogadishu and Baghdad.

No one dares challenge our policy of ''might makes right'' - not Russia, not the United Nations, not Congress, not the press and not the American people.

The United States can now ignore international law and the sanctity of international borders with complete impunity. We make a mockery out of caring about human rights or the freedom of the press.

Where in our democratic society are the dissenting voices - have they all been silenced?
